 In downtown Brainerd, on the corner of Norwood and South Fifth Street, there's a unique building that is home to a pizza and sub shop. Mickey's Pizza and Subs opened in 1982 and has been a Brainerd staple ever since. Reporting from Brainerd with this week's In Business, Rachel Johnson has more. For over 30 years, a unique octagonal glass building has occupied the corner of Norwood and South Fifth Street in downtown Brainerd. Mickey's Pizza and Subs is best known for what is in their name, taking big pizzas and subs, but they also have a variety of other offerings such as salads, soups, party platters and more. We originally were the pizza factory when we opened up and then there is a piece of factory in Monticello and of course none of us are creative and there wasn't marketing at the time so it's just the easiest thing to do was name it Mickey's and that's after my dad. Mickey's was established in 1982 by Pat and Mickey Kaminski. Tony and her husband Jim bought the business from her parents 15 years ago. Mickey's originally opened up on the corner of West Washington Street in 9th before moving to this location in the late 80s. What makes Mickey's special is the loyalty of its customers and also its employees. I think what really makes Mickey's special is that our customer service is outstanding. We know a lot of them by names. We know a lot of them by the orders that they have. Mickey's has employed three generations in one family and has been the matchmaker of three different marriages. We've employed brothers and sisters. We've had employees, three sets of employees, get married who've met here. We've had three generations in one family work here, grandmother, daughter and grandchildren. Throughout the years the employees at Mickey's have made many memories. They will never forget one memory in particular. We had a little old lady drive her car through one of the windows one day. I helped the window and helped her get out of the car and she kind of pushed me out of the way and come walking up to the counter and said I need to order a pizza and her car's sitting in the front end of the building. Mickey's has been successful over the last 37 years and is a brainered favorite. Coming here usually people are always in a good mood. The employees you know they're like sisters and you know children and we have you know we have a fun time. There's a lot of memories yeah in 37 years a lot of memories a lot of good memories. They hope to keep serving good food to the community and making memories for years to come. Reporting from brain and with this week's in business Rachel Johnson Lakeland News.
